Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] binder: use cred instead of task for getsecid
Date: Wed,  6 Oct 2021 12:46:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211006194610.953319-3-tkjos@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211006194610.953319-1-tkjos@google.com>

Use the 'struct cred' saved at binder_open() to lookup
the security ID via security_cred_getsecid(). This
ensures that the security context that opened binder
is the one used to generate the secctx.

Fixes: ec74136ded79 ("binder: create node flag to request sender's
security context")
